Javier Tamayo Leiva

Currently looking for a data scientist position

I am a data enthusiast focused on analytics, modeling and visualization to create and share knowledge and value through data. I am always eager to learn new topics, techniques and ways to apply dynamic tools to share knowledge in the process.

As a biotechnologist, microbial ecologist and computational biologist, I am an expert in handling NGS methodologies and data, and how to apply these resources to solve research questions with a holistic approach. As a researcher, and data scientist, I am focused on helping to improve data-driven intelligence and decision making from data collection and interpretation. As a data scientist I have a special focus on data management - big data sets - analysis and visualization techniques as a tool to help facilitate information interpretation and decision making.
